John Mark Galecki was born in Belgium where his dad was stationed while serving in the U.S. Air Force. When he was 3 years old, his family moved to Chicago, Illinois, where he grew up along with his sister Allison (1980) and brother Nick (1982). His father, who died in an accident when Galecki was 16, then became a teacher for blind veterans in a VA hospital outside of Chicago.
In 2007 he was back on the small screens, starring as Leonard Hofstadter in the sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" (2007). Not only was Chuck Lorre, a former producer for Roseanne, a producer of the new show, but Sara Gilbert and Laurie Metcalf both made guest appearances.
Galecki is a self-admitted motorcycle "nerd," and drives a Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe. Although he never went to college, he has said: "I'm not dead! We should never stop learning. We should never stop absorbing," and so he learned how to play the cello in his early twenties. He likes traveling around the world, painting, music (he also plays bass), and hiking with his dog Vera.
He always has been very private about his personal life and little is known about past relationships. It has only been confirmed that he dated actresses Laura Harris and Kaley Cuoco. He isn't on twitter, and Galecki once said, "I don't understand the current frame of mind in our society that seems to say that any action is not of value until it's broadcast somehow."
He still lives in Los Angeles but is often spotted in Chicago, where his siblings still live.

As Leonard Hofstadter in The Big Bang Theory.
I've always held a certain amount of pity for Leonard. He's for some reason attracted to a judgmental bitch. And despite his lack of luck with women in the show, I honestly would totally date him if he were a real person. He's sweet and has to have a world of patience in order to live with Sheldon. And he's on this list because he also has a lovely sense of humor. It's often pretty dry, which is fantastic. He's very under-appreciated in his world,"

 Not so Interesting Protagonists (18 person items)"Leonard Hofstadter in The Big Bang Theory
Although Leonard is supposed to be the main character, fans are more interested in Sheldon and his quirks. Of course, what people fail to realize is that without Leonard to contrast him, Sheldon wouldn't be nearly as funny."
